What battery does the Kia K3 use?
2 Answers
The battery model used in the Kia K3 is CMF65LBCI, with a rated voltage of 12V and a rated capacity of 60Ah. The battery specifications may vary depending on the model year, and owners can check the markings on the battery. The battery in the Kia K3 is located in the upper right corner of the engine compartment. By connecting a dedicated diagnostic tool, the current voltage of the vehicle's battery can be read, and after entering the corresponding battery model code, the diagnostic tool will display the battery status. The Kia K3 is a model under Dongfeng Yueda Kia, with body dimensions of 4600mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1445mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of exterior design, the Kia K3 features a tiger-nose front grille with a new black mesh treatment, and the connected headlights have a more elongated shape with updated internal structures.
I recently researched the battery of the Kia K3. This car is typically equipped with a 12V lead-acid battery, with common models being 55D23L or equivalent 60Ah capacity batteries. The Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) value is around 500-600 amps, suitable for starting its 1.6L or 1.4L engine. The original battery may use brands like Yuasa or Kode, with a lifespan generally around 5 years. When choosing a battery, ensure the size fits the space under the hood. For replacement, it's recommended to use the original specifications; otherwise, it may cause slow starts or short-circuit issues. Remember to check if the voltage is stable at 12.8V when fully charged, as an excessively high generator output voltage can accelerate aging. Regular maintenance can save money.
